Getting Around Bhutan

All tourist travel within Bhutan is arranged through a licensed operator with a private vehicle and guide.

Private guided transport

Independent self-driving is not part of standard tourist travel in Bhutan. Instead, all sightseeing and inter-valley travel is arranged with a private vehicle, driver and licensed guide as part of your tour.

Road conditions and travel times

Bhutan’s roads wind through mountainous terrain, so distances that look short on a map can take several hours. Journeys between major valleys typically run from 2 to 6 hours depending on the route and pass conditions.
